A day after chief minister Arvind Kejriwal visited the family of deceased Ankit Saxena duri

A day after chief minister Arvind Kejriwal visited the family of deceased Ankit Saxena during a prayer meet and left midway as he was approached with a demand of Rs 1 crore as compensation, the Delhi government rubbished allegations of discrimination because of caste and community levelled by the state Opposition.

The Aam Aadmi Party listed out seven families of deceased government officials or police personnel, who had received a compensation of Rs 50 lakh or Rs 1 crore each.

Countering the claims of Delhi BJP chief Manoj Tiwari that the AAP only appeased the minority with hefty compensation, the Chief Minister's Office on Tuesday said five out of seven deceased, who received a substantial compensation, were Hindus and two were from the minority community.

Head constable Ram Kanwar Meena, who died while protecting undertrial prisoner Irfan at Karkardooma court from four assailants, and Mohd Tanzeel, NIA officer, who was shot dead, received compensation of Rs 50 lakh each, the AAP government stated.

A video clip of Kejriwal's visit went viral on Monday where he is seen leaving the prayer venue abruptly. He is also heard saying that it is unjust to debate over the amount of compensation being given.
